I've just started SCE and I was curoious if KRAD or any of the other authors involved had a fantasy cast for it?

Well, the obvious ones are Lycia Naff for Gomez, Jay Baker for Stevens, Bari Hochwald for Lense, Charley Lang for Duffy, James Doohan for Scotty, Katy Boyer for Soloman, and Nikki Cox for Sarjenka, since they're all who played those characters on screen (or, in Boyer's case, played another Bynar). And yes, I know that Naff is retired from acting and Doohan's dead, but I don't care.

She played Hannah (Logan's girlfriend) in Veronica Mars and Susan Davis in the Jane Doe film series. She is a bit too young, but that's not really an issue in the 24th century since she could be forty and look like twenty.

She looks hot and can sing too, perfect for when Riker plays his trombone.

As I recall that actress from Veronica Mars, she was cute but anorexically skinny. Starfleet officers are supposed to be physically fit, not emaciated. She also doesn't strike me as Vale's type in any way aside from being human and female.

So you're saying that Katee Sackhoff is still the number one contender for the...number one of Titan?

I used to think Sackhoff was a good choice, but then I came to thoroughly loathe her Starbuck character... but then she was really good as Sarah Corvus on Bionic Woman. So I guess I'm agnostic about her. My mental image of Vale these days is based somewhat on Patricia Tallmann (Lyta from B5 and one of the bad guys in TNG: "Starship Mine"), but not entirely on any one person.

You know, whenever I read a book featuring Vale, I always knew there was someone in particular I imagined "as" her, but I could never put my finger on it. I now realize that it was Pat Tallman I was imagining. Thanks for clearing that up for me!

What about Leslie Bibb? She was in "Popular" (alongside Anthony Montgomery) and then played an FBI agent in a short-lived series I can't remember, plus a few guest appearances on several shows, including CSI: Miami, IIRC.

I remember her from Crossing Jordan, and -- meh. Not really what I picture for Vale. *shrug*

"My name is Captain David Gold, USS Da Vinci. There'd been a recent wave of gorgeous Risan fashion models found naked and unconscious in engine rooms across the Alpha Quadrant. Unfortunately, I was assigned to investigate the breakdown of Earth's weather control system. I was down in engineering when the call came in..."

"Who are you? How'd you get in here?"
"I'm in Starfleet. And, I'm in Starfleet."

"Our next stop was the USS Little Italy..."

"We're sorry to bother you at a time like this, Soloman. We would have come earlier, but your Bynar partner wasn't dead then."
